Purpose


Section 32 of Chapter 2020-10, Laws of Florida, authorizes the Department of Revenue to promulgate emergency rules to implement the increased maximum bond amount required for each terminal supplier, exporter, producer/importer of pollutants, or wholesaler, except a municipality, county, school board, state agency, federal agency, or special district which is licensed under Part I of Chapter 206, F.S. Effective July 1, 2020, the maximum bond amount is increased from $100,000 to $300,000. The promulgation of this emergency rule ensures that the public is notified in the most expedient and appropriate manner regarding the increased bond amount, the amendment of two existing forms and the adoption of a new form, and the ability of the public to access the forms free of charge from the Department.
